    Am I the only one who finds election betting absolutely disgusting?

    Like, if you’re a high roller who has the money to engage in that shit, surely you have the money to throw at propaganda to meddle in your favor.

    New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is +3000 (30-to-1) to be elected president in 2028, as an independent. Meanwhile, the Jets’ odds to win the Super Bowl this year are +6600 (66-to-1). So, he’s more than twice as likely to be president than to win the 2025 Super Bowl, apparently.

      We will probably balkanise before 2028.

      The insane push to deport everyone brown will trigger the blue states to revolt, especially California.
